Mold remediation starts with sealing the affected area off from the rest of the house with plastic sheeting and a zippered door. A negative air machine pulls air out of that space so the dust stays inside it, and HEPA air scrubbers clean the air while we work. Drywall, carpet, pad and insulation the mold has grown into come out bagged, and the framing and hard surfaces left behind are cleaned and treated with antimicrobial. Then we find the water that fed it, fix it, and rebuild the room.
Plainfield is on our regular route, by Route 59, Route 126, 127th Street and Caton Farm Road, with I-55 to the east. If your Plainfield basement is finished and the sump pump ever quit during a storm, the bottom of the drywall and the carpet pad are the first places we look. Mold there often grows on the back of the wall where you cannot see it, so we take moisture readings and open the wall where they point. When a pump is the source, we can replace it and add a battery backup before the new drywall goes up.
We close off the affected room or section with plastic sheeting and a zippered door before anything gets cut.
A negative air machine draws air out of the sealed area while HEPA scrubbers filter it, so dust from the removal stays where the work is.
Moldy drywall, carpet, pad and insulation are cut out, bagged inside the containment and hauled away.
Studs, bottom plates and concrete that stay are HEPA vacuumed, wiped down and treated with antimicrobial.
If a failed pump let the water in, we replace it and can add a battery backup so a power outage does not stop it.
New insulation, drywall, trim, flooring and paint go back in to match the rest of the basement.
We look at the area, take moisture readings and give you a written estimate that lists what comes out, what gets cleaned and what gets rebuilt. If opening the wall shows the mold goes past what the estimate covers, we price the extra work in writing and you approve it before we do it. Once the cleaning is done, we recommend an independent tester confirm the area before the rebuild closes it up. The rebuild then goes on the calendar, and at the end we walk the finished room with you.
